We would all agree that Young has had a shocking tournament despite a period of form coming into the tournament. There is a reason for this. The man who we thought was Ashley Young is none other than actor Jamie Hector of The Wire fame:

Turns out the star had infiltrated the England squad as research for an up and coming TV role.
The stunt follows that of Sacha Baren Cohen's infiltration into the Chelsea squad as 50 million pound man Torres:

The whereabouts of the real Ashley Young and Fernando Torres are unknown.

It's pretty weird that English players do not perform for their country, but at club level they put in a decent shift. It's a bit quaint for players that earn triple the amount we earn in a year. That's life for you.

Ashley Young was very poor indeed, Ashley Cole had to do two jobs at left mid.
I thought generally the wide men for us offered nothing, wish Ox and Walcott had started as they didn't press us out wide and that was our outlet at times
